War Machine terminated by Bellator after incident

Bellator acted swiftly in terminating the contract of War Machine (FKA Jon Koppenhaver) after he is being identified as the prime suspect which found his girlfriend and another severely beaten.

Bellator President Scott Coker has issued a statement regarding Jon Koppenhaver, War Machine:

“We have a zero tolerance policy here at Bellator when it relates to any form of domestic violence, and after learning of this latest incident involving Jon Koppenhaver, War Machine, Bellator is releasing him from him promotional contract with the organization.”

Payout Perspective:

Although the organization could have waited until War Machine was found to obtain his side of the story, Bellator had enough information to render its decision.  War Machine has been in his share of legal troubles and the alleged assault on his girlfriend was the last straw not to mention domestic violence is something that can’t be tolerated.
